I need help. How can I get rid of this algae. The back wall is covered in a green algae, I thought it was hair algae but I’m unsure, and all the brown algae on the bottom. What can I do to fix this?

Algae probs from low flow try adding a cleanup crew fish or snails
Scrape clean, do a water change after 10-20%. Keep the white spectrum low as possible with lighting while snails (turbo or astrea) do their work. Also, if not in use get a UV sterilizer for the water and make sure it flows below 300GPH so it can eliminate the cells. Hope it helps!
Like everyone else said, scrape the back wall water change. Get some turbos as much as they suck to deal with. They're going to knock over everything but they'll take care of that back glass
In my experience I haven’t always gotten the results I want from snails but recently I started to use a more fish heavy cleanup crew with mollies and lawnmower blennies on top of the snails and that has kept my tank almost completely clear of nuisance algae.

Try adding some snails or a cleanup crew. Also check your flow and alk!
